HUNDREDS OF NYC STREET CART VENDORS SWITCH THEIR ICONIC PRETZELS FOR KING'S HAWAIIAN SOFT PRETZEL BITES, THE BRAND'S FIRST-EVER SNACK

Some things are just better together – like the sweet and salty flavor combination of King's Hawaiian Pretzel Bites. New York City and pretzels are another better together duo, making the Big Apple a natural place to celebrate the product with the help of another New York icon, Eli Manning. The legendary quarterback, brand spokesperson and snack aficionado is "manning" a custom King's Hawaiian Pretzel Cart and giving out free samples at Flatiron Plaza in the NYC Flatiron District this morning.

"I know a thing or two about snacking, and there's no doubt King's Hawaiian's Soft Pretzel Bites are my new favorite snack for any occasion, especially game day," said Manning. "I'm very excited to share them today with a city that has shared so much with me."  

Beyond the brand's Manhattan street carts takeover, there's also a King's Hawaiian Snack House fans can visit at Flatiron Plaza (the intersection of Broadway, 5th Avenue and East 23rd Street in New York City) from 1:15 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. today, September 12. Those who stop by can expect a unique experience with complimentary Pretzel Bites samples, King's Hawaiian merch and fun photo opportunities.

"Growing up in New York City, I appreciate the joy that comes along with the city's iconic street cart pretzels," said Raouf Moussa, Chief Marketing Officer at King's Hawaiian. "It only made sense to celebrate the nationwide launch of King's Hawaiian's irresistible Soft Pretzel Bites with Eli and the hardworking street vendors of New York City, bringing everyone together and spreading aloha."

The brand is partnering with the Street Vendor Project to conduct the island-wide pretzel takeover and support the street vendor community in NYC. SVP is a membership-driven non-profit organization that champions the rights of street vendors as small businesses to earn a living and contribute to the culture and life of New York City. Through direct legal representation, small business training, organizing support, leadership development and strategic legislative advocacy, SVP builds power and community among vendors.

Foodies and football fans alike across America can get in on the action by entering a sweepstakes for the chance to level up their tailgate party with the ultimate catered spread from King's Hawaiian, including use of Eli's custom King's Hawaiian Pretzel Cart, to have Pretzel Bites served to your guests.
